What is Copper Pyrithione?
Chemical properties
Copper pyrithione is a green crystalline fine powder with high stability, stored under light-proof conditions, the content remains unchanged for two years, mainly used in the production of daily chemical products, adhesives, paints, coatings, paper, pharmaceuticals, leather and other industries.
The Uses of Copper Pyrithione
Copper pyrithione is intended to be used as a co-biocide (booster biocide) by both professional and non-professional users in antifouling products (PT 21) against marine fouling species. It is meant to be effective against soft-fouling organisms, so its function is to increase the efficacy of the product in order to remove the most problematic fouling organisms.
What are the applications of Application
Copper pyrithione, [Cu(PyS)2] is used as an additive to protect paints (such as industrial and marine) against microbe (algal, fungal and bacterial) and crustacean growth. It acts as a low metal fouling agent with long-lasting efficacy that does not induce galvanic corrosion making it suitable for metal hulls and marine environments.
Definition
Copper pyrithione belong to a class of cyclic sulfur organo products containing sulfur atom (S) and often oxygen (O), nitrogen (N), hydrogen (H), as well as other elements, can find application for making biologically active agents such as antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal agents. It is an effective inhibitor of microbe growth including algal, fungal (molds & yeasts) and bacterial (gram-positive & gram-negative).
Antimicrobial activity
Copper Pyrithione Cu Powder possesses a broad spectrum of antifungal and Antialgal activity against all fungi and algae including following relevant organisms. This product can restrain and sterilize eight moulds, five bacteria, as well as two yeast fungis which are distillery yeast and bakers'yeast. It's MIC to various micro-organisms as follows:
